Olga de Alaketu's ancestry

Olga says she is descended from the Royal Aro house of Benin but has this been proven? Are there other Afro-Brazilians who can trace their lineage back to Africa?

Haley of 'Roots' fame is the only person known of the African diaspora who has been able to trace his ancestry back to Africa or well I thought so until Mother Olga. anybody with any good info? Domsta333 11:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Brought by the Portuguese to Brazil
